Life and times of MCGL

Whew! What a day!! I have got my hair on fire I am so busy. I have a love/hate relationship with these days. So, here goes:

* Drive kids to MIL's house. 30 min drive.* Go to Bible study* Pray and minister with a hurting woman* Go to grocery store* Go to MIL's house to get kids* Drive 30 min homeIt is now 2:30* Unload groceries* Duke out numerous fights between kids* Jostle dd #1 out of a pout* Spin for 5 min* Decide I really need to start dinner for company coming tonight* Sear flank steak and put in oven to braise for Ropa Vieja* Ice chocolate cake* Make Neapolitan Tomato salad* Make sauce for Ropa Vieja* Re-snack the kids* Realize that I still have to review AWANA verses with kids for their class tonightIt is now 4:41* Kick kids out to play* Listen to dd #2 complain about baby brother beating her with a stick* Sit down to blogWhat is wrong with me? I should be CLEANING MY HOUSE TO GET READY FOR PASTOR AND WIFE TO COME OVER!! I have a headache and I need to drink a bunch of H20 and lie down. oh well.WHAT I STILL HAVE TO DO BEFORE 6:30* Vacuum downstairs* Shred Ropa Vieja (translates 'old clothes', a shredded, spicy beef dish over rice)* Clean self up* Check verses for AWANA* Change the girls clothes, they got filthy at Grandma's house* Feed kids* Clean up food from kids* Greet husband lovingly with a smile and a kiss despite headache* Whatever else shows itself as something that needs doing

I either need to go pray or I need a Valium. The Valium is out, so I think I'll go sit on the porch, ignore whatever else I "should do", and spend time with Jesus. Thanx. c
